An image I took with my Holga and Ilford SFX film of the Palouse this past Spring. There are few better film/camera combinations I know of than Holgas loaded with SFX, they make such beautiful images together.
It has been a pretty good week, but a busy one as well, with a couple of stories worth sharing. Unfortunately I do not have the time to type them out this morning, breakfast is still awaiting and Belly is getting more impatient by the minute. So the stories will have to wait for my next post, but seeing as how I was a couple of days behind in posting I wanted to get something up this morning, before the day moved me on to other things.
Holgas are vastly misunderstood and under-appreciated cameras, both by those who have never used them and by those that use them every day. Like my pinhole, my Holga continually surprises me with how it sees the world, which perhaps is even more impressive than the pinhole which at least has the advantageous characteristic of making its images without a lens. A Holga is a "normal" camera just built very cheaply out of plastic. So it often carries the moniker of a "crappy" camera. Yet whenever I see these cameras in the hands of someone who knows how to use it, they seem anything but.
